Once again, the best argument of this bike are the components, like TALAS RC2 Fork, DHX air Damper, Crossmax SX wheels, ... Only top equipment! The Easton carbon handlebar is really nice and is an invitation to the ride. Bike also noticed that the bike is really efficient while pedaling, even with 180 mm of travel. The Torque has no opponents, when it's time do disconnect the brain! The bike is able to forgive many riding mistakes (...) The Torque is really well done, and completely ready to compete.

Verdict: With its second place, the Canyon is the real surprise of this test. The german brand listen to all the needs of such a domain. Now, the bike has increased and is today equal to the best.
